Treat yourself to a classic southern breakfast with our easy recipe for biscuits and sausage gravy.
- Biscuits
- 1 pound sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper
- Dried sage
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Begin by preparing the biscuits. You can either use pre-made biscuits or make your own from scratch. If using pre-made biscuits, follow the instructions on the packaging. If making from scratch, here is a simple recipe:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 3/4 cup milk
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually pour in the milk and mix until a soft dough forms. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use a biscuit cutter to cut out circles. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
3. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the sausage gravy. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
4. Add 1 pound of sausage to the skillet and break it up into small pieces using a spatula. Cook until the sausage is browned and fully cooked.
5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the sausage and stir to combine. This will help thicken the gravy.
6. Slowly pour in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens.
7. Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried sage. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
8. Once the biscuits are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
9. To serve, split the biscuits in half and top each half with a generous scoop of sausage gravy. Enjoy your delicious biscuits and sausage gravy!
